Anthony - A Level Short Film

Short Film about a lonely man living in a time of food and water shortage who, day by day, counts down his time on the calendar.
What keeps him going is the orange box on his shelf that burns into his conscious as he puts up with a life that's worth ending early.
Ahahahahhahaha... Yeah.
Really.

This was made for year 12 A level Film Studies in college, it was supposed to be a 2 minute short film - i went a bit over.
Everything created by me.
'cept music.
Original Story inspired by Anthony Burch.

there was already a half in there! why did he have to cut another half?

[philafofalof]

@RafiraFira That half was too big. He probably wanted to save it for another time, haha.

Oh my god, this is so good. This is the tragedy that cookie day is meant to be. My only gripe was the "national" you added on. It made it seem like it was some program started by the government rather than some personal goal the character created for himself. I know that's silly.

[philafofalof]

@whisper4132 The thing is, National Cookie Day is a real celebration day on December 4th so I thought it would be funnier if he stuck with a silly government 'holiday' and enjoy a cookie with the rest of the world, making him feel less lonely for a day.

I overall really like this, and good job. But some constructive criticism if I may:

I'm not sure cookie day makes sense as an annual event. Maybe a monthly event would be better? If nothing else, cookies would not preserve for that long, especially if kept in a shoebox.

[philafofalof]

By having it annually, the cookie becomes more meaningful as he has to wait a whole year just to eat this moulding food. And even if it's gone off, that's how awesome cookies are! Throughout his terrible life he chooses to stay alive just to have a piece of a cookie. =)

Wow that was great. It really created a depressing tone, great use of music.

Seriously?

You've never seen Fight Club?

Stop reading this comment and buy it from wherever.

I'll wait here.

Considering you did everything yourself in terms of producing this video, this is impressive. Please check out my A-Level Short Film: Bad Timing if you get the time.
